Manzana Postobón is preparing to face its third year in the Professional Continental level by strengthening its roster with fresh faces.
With the departure of one of its most successful talents, Sebastian Molano who is joining UAE Team Emirates in 2019, the Colombian team has been forced to bring other promising riders. Jhonatan Restrepo is one of the new names of the team.
The Colombian became a professional in Katusha-Alpecin in 2016 and achieved top-five results in one stage of the Vuelta a España and at the Vuelta al Pais Vasco, as well as in the general classifications of races like the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Race, the Vuelta a Murcia and the Gran Piemonte.
Spanish website Zikloland named other signings for the team. Daniel Jaramillo will make the move after three seasons in UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling and climber Carlos Quintero after one season in the continental Colombian team Orgullo Paisa.
Other names mentioned are Omar Mendoza· who will arrive from Team Medellin, Diego Ochoa who will move from EPM, and new talents like Bryan Gomez, Luis Carlos Chia and Nicolas Saenz.

Hey deelnemers. Wat gebeurt er? Waarom een nieuw topic? Ik zie dat het aantal deelnemers en de activiteit op dit forum achteruit gaat, dus ga ik proberen meer deelnemers te krijgen buiten dit forum. Wat gaat er dan o.a. veranderen?
- Transfers doen verandert. Je mag nu renners van alle nationaliteiten kopen, alleen moet je wel een contract hebben met deze nationaliteit.
- Renners opleiden verandert. Een opleidingsteam opzetten kost €2000 per jaar en heeft altijd 5 renners. Als je een renner over hebt mag je hem ook in je opleidingsteam zetten.
- Er komt een ranking van managers gebaseerd op je budget
@Michal Kwiatek @wielermannetje @Stefanvk @aron24 @Amez @yannicwkp @RubenS @SeanSchleck @Cyril @jelskie1 @levi @DemoN @tijs02 Klinkt allemaal moeilijk, maar als het zover is, leg ik alles uit. En vragen stellen mag altijd.
Welcome to Fantasy Manager!
The cycling-peloton has changed drastically. From now on we ride in country-teams consisting of 6 riders per team. The seasons will be short; appr. 21 racing days per season, and every cyclists riders every race.
It is your, yes your, task to lead one of these teams. Be the general manager and build the best selection for every season. To build a good team you will need to make transfers and train young potential new cyclists.
In every season the riders get one year older, so the development will be fast. Innovation is essential! What makes this story special?
- Fantasy cyclists, there is several great stories on this forum with realistic and similar riders
- Scout and train your own riders and see their development
- Apart from the transferperiod, there is not so much work
The peloton
There are three divisions. Countries in division 1 and 2 have six riders. Countries in division 3 have two riders that represent the country in the first two divisions. At first division 2 will play the season. Then division 1 will ride the season. The last 2 teams of every division make a degradation to the lower division. The first 2 teams will promote.
Transfers
It is possible to do transfers. For transfers you can contact the manager of the other team or if you can’t contact this manager, send me your proposals by pm. It is possible that other teams will contact you.
The amount of nationalities that can join your team is restricted. You need to have an agreement if you want to give a contract to different nationalities.
The development team
Before every season you can choose to build a development team. This development team will always consist of 5 riders and cost €2000. For extra support per cyclists, you have to pay something extra. It is possible to transfer riders from your main team to your developmentteam.
Manager-points
How can we see who is the best manager? At the end of the season and maybe during the transfer period, you can earn money for your budget. You can convert (part of) your budget to management points. You cannot convert management points back to money. It is not possible to have a budget higher than €15.000 before the start of a season.
How does a season work, when do you expect me to do something?
Step 1: The stats are updated. The transfermarket starts! With your budget you can buy and sell riders. Negotiate and improve your selection!
Step 2: You can buy a development-team and personal support for the upcoming season and transfer cyclists from the main team to your development-team from your development-team to your main team.
Step 3: You can choose your trade-partners for the upcoming season(s) and eventually transfer budget into manager-points.
Step 4: We will ride the full season. According to the general ranking, you will earn money.
After this process, we start again with step 1

World Championship TTT
This year’s world cup is held in Italy. All first division teams and the three best teams of division 2 will compete (Germany, Czechia-Slovakia, Denmark). Next to a lake in Trentino, we will do the short Team Time Trial, the best team in this discipline will be determined. It is only 11,5km. The first starter is former-worldchampion TTT Poland’ and they immediately set the bar high.’
Sweden is always one of the favourties in time trials. This year they managed to do exaclty 1 second better than the Polish squad. Are they gonna win? No, France is the surprise of the day and the French take the lead.
Brazil, the team of last year’s worldchampion ITT, Pairles de Souza (BRA) is a threat for the French, but Brasil just sets the 5th time. Victoire for France!
World Championship ITT
Argentina never did well at time trials and neither do they this year. Good results were rather set by riders like Quizzello (ITA), Lapeland (SWD) and Khristokin (UKR). The Italian seemed to be on his way to be world champion ITT in his own country but at the end 3 pure specialists Mosuya (ERI), Paireles de Souza (BRA) and Wendqvist (SWD) did better. Wendqvist wins the championship and the rainbow jersey.
World Championship Road
The other rainbow jersey can be won in the World Cup Road. This year the stage is flat and the finish is a little but uphill, so there are chances for sprinters. Favourites of today? I would go for either Strevniakov (RUS) or Mavrek (POL). Strevniak already won the world championship some years ago.
3 riders in the breakaway, Troshkov (RUS), Guajerado (ESP) and Wallstrup (DEN). Masso (ARG) also intended to join but he fell back on the first climb. In the first descent there were falls by Wolves (AUS) and Alfredo Ballón (MEX), but their teammates brought them back.
The peloton became quite chaotic. It broke several times which gave the breakaway more chance. In the meantime Wallstrup left the other two behind.
Now it is Wallstrup against the peloton led by Australia and Ukrain.
Wallstrup, first year rider by Denmark is strong and he holds on. He takes the victory! In the background it were punchers and sprinters in the peloton that dominated the final sprint.
